It's certainly something being worked on and possible...maybe not to the extent of HP invisibility cloak levels, but it's conceivable. That said, unless there's video of it working, I'm leery of any claims that it's been developed

RTFA:they're designed to foil an expanding roster of electro-magnetic detectors designed to betray one's presence via radio waves. An expanding family of radars, in other words, and its relatives.

ah, I think this is a different thing all together than what BBC reported last week.

I agree. I was just making light of the fact that if it DID work, you wouldn't be able to see it.

I wonder how children of the Wikileaks generation will view the Military and its technology. It's always been in the forefront of my mind that the F-117 made its first flight in 1981, operation capable in 1983, and was physically revealed to the public in 1990.

Sure, reporting and recording tech has changed, but I would personally side with the belief that we have some shiat that nobody knows about, and it'll be really farking cool when that shiat is revealed to us eventually.

Except that it was semi-common knowledge that the capability existed to anyone who cared to listen in the mid-1980's. The 1986 Tom Clancy novel Red Storm Rising had stealth aircraft in it, and Testors had put out a model that looked a lot like a modified SR-71 type blended wing aircraft.

No one was really shocked when the F-117 was publicly announced in 1988.
